Christ's Passion, and Sinners Salvation

Verse 1

Deep in our hearts let us record The deeper sorrows of our Lord: Behold the rising billows roll, To overwhelm his holy soul!

Verse 2

Yet, gracious God, thy power and love Have made the curse a blessing prove: Those dreadful sufferings of thy Son Atoned for crimes which we had done.

Verse 3

Oh, for his sake, our guilt forgive, And let the mourning sinner live! The Lord will hear us in his name, Nor shall our hope be turned to shame.
